Fiscal Note
This resolution would authorize a $3,000,000 TIF loan, payable in 2008 2007, to University Square, LLC for the construction of a project located on Lake Street and bounded by University Avenue and Johnson Street. It is expected that this loan would be repaid through incremental taxes generated from the project and represents approximately 47% of all incremental taxes anticipated from the project through the remaining 27 year life of TIF District #32.
The proposed project is not located within the current boundaries of the TIF district. An amendment to the current district boundary to incorporate this property must be approved by the Common Council, the Joint Review Board and the State Department of Revenue before project costs would be eligible for TIF reimbursement. Therefore, the proposed resolution provides that no City loan disbursement would occur prior to DOR certification of the amended district boundary.
Based on the proposed agreement, the City would disburse the $3,000,000 loan to the developer during 2008 2007, and the loan is contingent upon the Council's authorization of funding in the 2008 2007 budget. It is likely that the City would finance this payment with general obligation debt authorized in that year's capital budget. Therefore, this resolution has no impact on the current year budget.
